SHOPE_ WOMAN'S MISSIONARY UNION The fourth quarterly meeting of the fourth division of Santee Asso ciation which met with Home Branch church December 8th, 1916, opened with. singing, "Conic Thou Almighty King." Mrs. Spinx presided and Mrs. Henrietta Touchberry conducted the devotional exercises. Eighth chapter of second Corrinthians was read, after which prayer was offered by Mrs. Touchberry. "Hark! 'Tis the Shepherd's Voice I Hear," was- then sung. A reading entitled Christian Stewardship, was then given us by Mrs. Mira Broadway, which closed with these words: "A call is now sunding for yau and for me, Not only from nations far over the sea; But it comes from the lands that lie at our feet. It comes from the sinful we meet on the street; It comes from the homes of want and of woe; It comes to our ears wherever we go; Oh! hear the Master is Calling." Roll call was then responded to with scripture verses. A modern knight was then given us by Miss Flossie Hill. After this reading, Miss Sallie Jones read the standard of excellence. A paper entitled," Her Good Intentions," was then read by Mrs. E. D. Hodge. "I am Thine, Oh L.ord," was heartily sung by all of us. Mrs. M. S. Broadway then had rs to enjoy a Foreign Missionary A ppeal from Dr. J. F. Love. After this appeal a reading by Mrs. Hen rietta 'Touchberry was then given us. Iler subject being, "The Love of a Soul," she said the only thing in the tuiverse that is like God is the soul, and he that loves the beautiful in God, loves the beautiful in the soul." Nothing but love can properly esti mate the value of a soul, and meet the responsibility of saving a soul. Hence, if it were not for love empty hinded we would go to our Master. "More Love to Thee" was sung after which we were dismissed for the noontide hour by Mrs. Minis. After enjoying a delightful social hour and huh we then assembled for the re maining of our program. Devotional exercises being conducted by Mrs. Spinx. "We'll Work 'Till Jesus Comes" was sung after which the twentieth chapter of Matthew's was read.

She said that missionary societies were composed of women who are working for the Master, and that women who coope rated would accomplish much. There can be only one society in a church hut several circles. The circles in clude every one in the church working for .Jesus. A fter Mrs. Scarborough's talk collection amounting to $2.70 was akenm. Our meeting then closed with prayer, hoping to meet with Dilud Icy's church the first Thursday in march. Mrs. J1. W.

Berlin, Monday, Decc. 11 .--Via Lon don, Dec. 1 2.-The A ustro-German pursuit of the Rumanians has been only slightly checckedl by the snow, rain anwl generally bad weather of the past twenty- four hours. The. Tleutonic armies are already far to the eastwvard of Bucharest, but their exact position are being care fully concealed so that the scattered bandIs of Rumanians in the mnoun tains north and northwest may not learn of their location and thereby avoidl app~arently inevitable capture. The adlvance has been so great that the Russo-Rumanian line runs almost due north and south and even local s.:ccesses by the Rumanians to the northwvard would be able to accom plish a slight bending in of the line, while the Russian left flank on the Seret line appears to be endangered. In German quarters not the slight est anxiety is expressed at the activ ity of Gen. Sarrail, In Macedonia, which is accounted purely politial as otherwise his efforts would not be made in the Monastir region but to the eastward, where the distance to Rumanria is not quito so great.

The strength of the remaining Ru manian artillery, in consequence is reckoned at nearly nijl and the strength of the army at even less than that of the Serbian forces which reached Greece after the retreat last year. The Austro-German forces in their advance were able to overtake and set free 800 civilians who had been in terned in Bucharest and were being transported eastward. Likewise they are daily finding more concealed stores of grain and other supplies, the total of which is now described as "enormous." 0 Manning Graded School Honor Roll. 1st grade-Vivian Galloway, Mary Walter Heriot, Zella Louise Harlee, William Coffey, James Sprott, Edgar Windham, J.

A country school boy was told to write an essay on edlitors, andl this is the result: "Don't know how newspapers came to be in the world: I don't think the good Lordl does, for he ain't got nothing to say about an editor in the Bible. I think the editor is one of the missing links you read of, andl stayed in the bushes until after the flood, andl then came out and wrote the thing up andl has been here ever sinee. I dlon't think he ever (lied. I never seen a dlead one andl never heard of one getting licked. "If the dloctor makes a mistake he buries it, and people dassent say nothing. "When the editor makes a mistake here Is big swearing and a big fuss, but if the doctor makes a mistake here is a funeral, cut flowers and per fect silence. "A doctor can use a word a yard long without anybody knowing what it is, but if an editor uses one lhe has to spell -it. - - -"Any old college can make a dootor, but .an editor as t Am.. hon Of Spe The thing thing else are day use, thin And then, another bith thing practic buy herself.
